Basketball Instruction - Ab Strength


Expert: Bob Anagnostou - 2/16/2007

Question
Is AB Strength Needed To Be Able To Jump Higher

Answer
Dear friend,

It's absolutely important that you have core strength in order to jump high.

Ab muscles participate in the jumping process and just to know, my guard ,6 feet tall, that can dunk over you claims to be assisted by the abs workouts.

Yours,
Coach B.Anagnostou
